David H. Foster Libri

A study of contemplative prayer in the context of contemporary discussions of religious experience and mysticism.

David Foster is a Benedictine Monk of Downside Abbey and chaplain to Downside School. He has always been concerned to bring the riches of the monastic tradition to lay people as they struggle to live the Christian life in the modern world. Lectio Divina or the art of spiritual reading is an art which is all but lost outside monastic communities. But following St Benedict's opening command in his Rule to 'listen', attending to the word of God through the printed text is an art which needs to be rediscovered in a world in which we are surrounded by a cacophony of sound and noise. David Foster has written a masterly guide to this art.

The first study in English of Latin American graphic narrative, this book explores the genre’s Argentine and Brazilian traditions, illuminating the different social, political, and historical conditions from which they emerged.

28 fabulous country walks focussing on the New Forest and South Downs National Parks, and the Itchen and Test valleys. Graded by length and ranging from 2 to 10 miles all routes come with a clear, large-scale OS map, GPS waypoints and highlight where to park, good pubs and places of interest en route.

20 circular walks all graded by route and difficulty, and now presented in an illustrated and easier-to-use layout, they can be enjoyed by the whole family and are the ideal companion for day trips and holidays.

This book is a great asset for any PhD student or a fresh researcher in one of the STEM disciplines, and there should be a book like this on the (virtual) shelf of the library. Adhemar Bultheel, European Mathematical Society Book Reviews
